A/N: Please don't hate me for taking so long to update. I went camping for a long weekend and didn't have my computer. But good news, band camp is over and I have a week before school starts so I'll write as much as I can! I do need some review love so if you're sticking with the story please tell me. If you're not I'd love to know why. Constructive critism is greatly appreicated. Remember I'm a sophmore in high school and I want to get into a creative writing school for my junior and senior year. It's a big deal so improving my writing is awesome! I love you guys!!

"Okay," Ginny said, but then the realization of what Harry said hit her. "WHAT?" She asked.

Harry looked down at his shoes.

"I'm sorry, but I feel like a burden to your mum who already has so much to do and I'm legal age and everything. You still have another year at Hogwarts. I'll visit when you're at the burrow. It's not like I don't want to see you, because I really, really do Ginny. I just need to do this for myself," Harry rushed out shuffling his feet in the dirt.

"Harry," she whispered. He looked into her eyes. "Are you sure this is what you want to do?" She asked sadly.

"Yes," he whispered. "I'll start looking for a place tomorrow and move out as soon as I can."

"Okay if you're sure. I'll help you," she said. "And then when you do move I'm sure you'll need some help redecorating," she said smiling at the thought.

"Urm, yeah I'm sure I will," Harry said.

"Oooh this'll be fun!" She exclaimed now smiling.

The next morning at breakfast Moose brought Harry the paper. Taking it, he stroked the owl and unfolded it looking for the for rent page. Just as he found it Ginny bounded into the room and took it from him glancing down at it.

"Come on Harry, we'll go outside," Ginny said. She grabbed his hand and pulled him out of his chair and out the door. Seeing as it was already hot, they sat under a tree looking through the pages.

"I think we'll probably just have to go look at some of them," Ginny said. "There's not nearly enough information about them in the paper." Harry nodded and Ginny went back to looking at the paper.

"What about this one?" She asked showing him the description of a two bedroom, two bath apartment in London. "It says it has a nice view and a deck too! We'll have to check this one out before-" Ginny stopped as she realized that Harry wasn't listening to her. He was looking at her with a small smile on his face. She opened her mouth to say something, but closed it again.

Harry leaned in towards her. When his face from inches from hers he said, "I love you Gin." Then he kissed her. The sun was just rising over the foothills and streams of light were reaching the couple. They held hands and Ginny deepened the kiss.

"I love you too Harry," she said as they broke about. She rested her head on his shoulder and looked in the distance at sunrise. Their hands were still laced and they were both content for the moment.

Harry broke the silence. "Ginny I'm sorry when I said that I didn't want to date your right now. I've realized that I was wrong, and I can't stand to be without you," he said.

"I don't know what I'd do without you either," she said, then paused before continuing. "I think we should go look at that apartment today. It's still morning, and we have plenty of time."

"What are we going to tell your mum?"

"I dunno. Come on." Ginny stood up and grabbed both of Harry's hands helping him up. She kept of them and they walked to the house.

"Mum?" Ginny said as they came inside. Mrs. Weasley was busying cleaning up the kitchen from breakfast.

"What?"

"Can Harry and I go into London for a bit?"

"Why?"

"Well Harry wanted to look into something,"

"Well I guess dears, be back by two so we can all have a late lunch."

"Okay." They walked to the fireplace and used floo powder to get onto Diagon Alley. Harry apprehensively stuck his wand out and as he expected the Knight Bus appeared. He was happy to see Stan there, same as always.

"'Ello 'Arry Potter. The chosen one, the boy who lived-"

"Hi Stan," Harry said interrupting him. "I'm glad to see you're well."

"Yep, where can I take you?" Harry passed him paper with the address of the apartment written on it. Ginny and Harry had decided to at least look at the outside of the apartment and the area around it before setting up a meeting to look at the inside.

Ginny didn't look too well as they stepped off.

"I'm glad that's over with," she said. "Well I guess this is the building."

They were looking at a red brick building with two glass doors at the entrance. As they looked up they could see the small black metal balconies filled with plants or chairs. A lady was whistling as she watered her flowers a few levels above them.

Harry and Ginny decided to owl the person in charge of selling the apartment and while waiting for a reply they would walk around.

"I really like the area," Ginny said. "If you lived here there would be plenty of things close by. Not to mention it's really pretty."

Her reply came quickly, just as they were looking at an ice cream parlor down the street. She asked them to meet her at the apartment so they could tour it. They quickened their pace and headed back.

A tall woman with short curly blond hair approached them.

"Harry Potter?" She said. "I'm Elizabeth Hone. Did you owl me about the apartment?" She asked.

Harry nodded and she beckoned for them to follow as she turned and went through the glass doors. The lobby had wooden floors and the ceilings were exposed. To the right side was a sitting area with couches, chairs, and black wicker tables. The other side had a foosball and pool table.

"As you can see we have some game tables to your left and a sitting area on the right. If you were to take a left through that hallway you would go straight to the outdoor pool." They went down the right hallway and stepped into one of the elevators. "We're going up to the fifth floor. Marvelous view." Stepping out she led them down a hallway of doors. The floor had blue carpet and the walls were cream. She slowed at 519 and inserted the key. "Here we are," she said pushing it open.

"Harry its great!" Ginny said.

To the right was a kitchen. Bars stools would fit perfectly under the far side of the island. Large square tiles line the floor. The countertops were granite, and the cabinets were deep chestnut. The kitchen leads right into the hard wood floor living room. Sliding glass doors take you outside onto the balcony. Harry, Ginny, and Elizabeth step outside. The balcony overlooks the town. Shops and restaurants litter the area.

Ginny steps up onto her toes and puts her hand to Harry's ear to whisper in it. "You have to get this place. It's wonderful," she said leaning over the edge of the railing.

Harry couldn't hold back tears during the service. He knew so many people that were gone. Once again he had held tightly to Ginny's hand during the service and afterwards they had held each other crying. Ginny's shoulders shook and she wiped her hands lightly under her eyes, brushing away the tears. Mrs. Weasley looked so out of character while tears streamed down her face and Mr. Weasley hugged her in an attempt to comfort her.

"This is it. They're gone," Ginny whispered.

"It's okay, it'll be okay," Harry said to a shaking Ginny. He rubbed her back softly and held her in his arms. He didn't like to see her upset. Taking her hand he led her away from the crowd and towards memories that together they had cherished.
